“Come with me, and you’ll be in a world of pure imagination” 🎩

What a Cronka-licious day! 🍫

Huge thanks to the incredible team of staff who really got on board with our ‘Cronka Bar’ event to help us create the finale of all finales to the ‘Wonderful week of reading’ surrounding world book day.

372 bars wrapped with our personally designed Cronka bar wrappers, 50 hidden golden tickets and the smiles that could melt a heart in an instant.

Thankyou so much Crockerne C of E Primary School for such a sterling effort. It really added to the excitement of the day. An even bigger thanks to our wonderful team of volunteers who actually make this happen and to our fabulous community of parents for supporting this new event.

🍫✨ The Great Cronka Bar Event – World Book Day ✨🍫
To celebrate World Book Day on Thursday 5th March, Crockerne Primary School PTA is delighted to be running a Cronka Bar event, inspired by the much-loved Wonka story.
The PTA will be dressing up as characters from the famous film, adding to the fun and excitement of the day.
🍫 Cronka Bars will be £3 each
✨ A number of bars will contain a Golden Ticket
🎁 Children who find a Golden Ticket will win special prizes
📝 Pre-orders are available to help us ensure we have enough bars for everyone.
👉 www.pta-events.co.uk/crockerne
🏫 A limited number of bars will also be available to purchase in the playground on the day.
All proceeds raised will go towards supporting the school.
Thank you for your continued support—we can’t wait to celebrate World Book Day in true Cronka style! 💛🍫

Thank you to everyone who supported the recent Bag2School collection. When used correctly, it is a valuable fundraiser for our school.

However, we are very disappointed by the large number of unsuitable items that were donated, including duvets, pillows and heavily stained clothing, despite clear guidance on what could and could not be accepted. These items were rejected by Bag2School, and ultimately has massively affected the amount of money we have raised. On over 1 tonne of clothes we raised we raised £304.20.

This situation has led us to seriously consider whether we can run this fundraiser again in the future, which would be a real loss to the funds we raise for the school.

We ask that, if we do run similar collections again, all donations are checked carefully against the list provided.

Thank you to those who followed the guidance and supported the fundraiser correctly.
